Cosmo Tips on How Google Can Prevents Relationship Blunders

This month, Cosmopolitan brings readers five of Google's potential "embarrassment reducer" features to minimize future online relationship blunders.

--"Undo Send" Mail Option: Enable this feature under your Gmail settings tab and you'll rest easy if you accidentally email the wrong person.

--The Shared Calendar: Using the Google calendar link allows a couple to jointly update and access their shared calendar from separate email accounts.

--The Cell-Phone Reminder: After creating a new calendar event, you can also edit event details to text an additional SMS reminder right to your phones.

--Chat Off the Record: Hide your personal conversations by selecting the 'Off the Record' option while in chat.

--Mail Goggles: Enable this feature and Gmail will step in and double check (via a simple math problem, for instance) to make you think twice before sending that late-night email.
